"You aren't oppressed if there are places for rich elites to shop." Has to be one of the dumbest takes
And they destroyed it all too. The only thing they have remaining is the beach which liberal Zionists were complaining about Gazans not suffering enough.
Gaza apparently had a zoo; when they ordered people to evacuate the staff were forced to leave, and those attempting to return knowing the animals were starving to death were shot at.
They know they're living next door to the people whose homes they stole, and they won't feel truly comfortable in their stolen homes until their victims have either completely left or been massacred.
That account with the name and the flags feels too stupid to not be ironic
But then I remember Israelis exist.
Zionist "organic" social media presence is always like, an AI generated kitten in a suit named something tryhard silly or DESTROYER OF EVIL, and then they have 30,000 replies telling people they're glad their dog died of cancer, because those people got into an argument with a Zionist on their main at any point in its history. Maybe we should have seen the failure of NAFO strategy coming...
I always wonder what sort of mental gymnastics this sort of person would perform if you showed them water parks, malls etc in the DPRK? If they maintain their flawed logic that 'water parks' == 'no concentration camp' then they have to admit that the DPRK is not the hellhole the western media makes it out to be.
Uhhh actually you cannot buy imported cars as easily in north Korea (because of US sanctions) ???? Commies owned I'd rather Live in gaza
I don't?
Edit: added pronouns. Idk how I managed to have no pronouns at all. Didn't notice bcz I use a third party Lemmy app
mental gymnastics
It's not gymnastics, the asshole saying this knows it's a bullshit argument, but they like that Israel is killing brown people to protect their tasty colonialism treats so they put crap like this out there to run over. Most hardcore Zionists are cynical machiavellians.
Also Iraq before the sanctions and the occupation that together killed at least 2 million people (the famine alone killing 500,000 children, which Madeleine Albright said of the price as being worth it) which turned Iraq from a developed country (before the sanctions it was the most developed Middle Eastern country) into a stone age state as some described it (can't recall who, possibly folks at the UNHRC?), also a solid reminder to countries like North Korea not to believe Western countries when they ask them to disarm themselves or to stop working on powerful game changing weapons.
When you deal with people who hide knives behind their backs, you do so with a gun to their head. Iraq was placed under sanctions on the basis that they had to stop manufacturing WMDs, which they did in 1991, but the sanctions didn't end (and wouldn't have ended) until we literally went to war with them despite the UN saying no. When they were accused of manufacturing WMDs, they welcomed UN inspectors, when our government said they didn't believe the inspectors and wanted to send our own, Iraq complied with us too, and then when our government was absolutely sure Iraq couldn't do a thing to defend themselves, we attacked.
Seeing China treat our government in good faith is painful, seeing frankly any country treat out government in good faith is painful (except other imperialist governments and their fellow collaborator governments; they can rot in hell).
I know the UN has said that israel has caused the deindustrialization and deagriculturalization of Palestine.
Just another way that capitalism incentivizes war: Devalue the land and its people (using weapons made and sold by Global North countries) so transnational corporations based in the Global North can later reap the benefits of cheaper land, labour, and resources. In other words, accumulation through war
Seeing China treat our government in good faith is painful
I don't think that China is treating the US govt in good faith. They often call out the bad faith statements which come from DC and contrast them with their win-win diplomacy. China wants to hang on to the international institutions which the US dominates and circumvents with privileges gained at gunpoint, brute force or complete disregard, until these institutions exist in a context where the US has no ability to enforce such measures. While the US would certainly like a top-down imperial structure where countries are unable to do diplomacy with one another instead of in line with its desired geopolitical economic hierarchies, even in the current "unipolar" moment these institutions are a useful platform for diplomacy. I think China should ditch the IMF at this point as it is clear they won't allow any actions to be taken to loosen debt subsystems which keep cheap goods flowing into the us for USD. Very profitable too to have for instance the Saudis dumping lobby money & asset purchases on the US in the hopes this produces actual goodwill. This has only taken a turn recently with its accession to BRICS and reopening of diplomatic channels with Iran (a significant blow to the US whatever our opinions of the respective govts (or oil companies in a trenchcoat))
that's the list of shit the colonists want to build on their lex luthor ass new waterfront development.
lol the Israelis are literally gloating about how it’s always been an eyesore before the war and how it’s more beautiful razed to the ground.
Go to any of these places now. Not saying this argument was valid before Oct 7 but how could you say this when everything is gaza is rubble now.
Also lmao at Walter white representing the "good " opinion as a self centered murderer that worked with child killing neo nazis
Ah yes, the high-end car dealership for driving around a confinement zone that's barely 20 miles long and 5 miles wide, less than 1/3 the size of an average US county.
I did not know that. If someone knows where to find some examples of it to contrast with the contemporary zionist genocide deniers that could be some effective agitprop especially if you can also add in some before and after googleearth shots of the Gazan amenities being destroyed as mentioned by @FuckyWucky@hexbear.net
There is a three arrows video about this
Edit: It really is telling zionists use the same talking points and logic as literal nazis
